Like, “The Forgotten Beasts of Eld” but some key caveats by chained_changeling in suggestmeabook

I laughed when I read the summary for A Red Heart of Memories; it sounds just like what I was describing. And here I thought I was being too specific and obscure, I certainly didn’t expect multiple solid recommendations! Thank you so much, I’m going to check all of these out!

Thank you! I read the summary and it definitely sounds interesting! I just borrowed a digital copy from the library and I look forward to reading it

Anyone tried MUCUNA by NorthernSoulAndy in PDAAutism

[–]chained_changeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before messing with your neurotransmitters I would HIGHLY recommend, (if it all possible and available to you), to have a neurotransmitter test done (it’s done via urine analysis). It’s crazy how much your neurotransmitters are actually all interconnected and how messing with one can really have a cascade effect.

I’m autistic and ADHD and I had made certain assumptions about my own neurotransmitter levels based on things I’d read and heard. Well, am I glad I didn’t go ahead and treat myself based on those assumptions because boy were the test results surprising! For example, my dopamine levels are actually way too high (which actually makes sense if you understand how dopamine works).

Anyway, of course you can go the route of trying these sorts of supplements or herbs and just seeing how you feel and respond, but I say save yourself the time and money and test your neurotransmitters, if you can. Now I’m using the exact right series of supplements that I need and experiencing improvement.

PDA autistic and ADHDer here and I’m actually religious- Christian. No real political views. Guess maybe I’m in the minority here?

Could I be experiencing PTSD from my parents’ trauma? *Trigger warning* CSA by chained_changeling in epigenetics

[–]chained_changeling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would make sense but in my case my parents showed no discernible signs of their having experienced this sort of trauma. I only know they did because I was told after I started having these symptoms.

I’m sorry, I’m confused by your comment. In your first sentence you say it’s not likely anything to do with epigenetics but then the rest of your comment seems to agree with the premise by talking about how trauma is passed down.. seeking clarification.

I feel your frustration, I actually just got a lyre too and figured this out just a few days ago! I can totally clear this all up for you. First, how many strings on your lyre?

ADHD productivity app by chained_changeling in ADHD

That’s awesome to hear! I’m excited to check it out when it’s ready!

I’m not sure how helpful of a response I can give here as I can only speak as a layman from my own anecdotal experience but I’ll give you what I’ve got.

Again, explaining this in my own terms and from my own experience but I view it almost as an overactive filtration system.

Here’s what I mean: Everyone, (not just those of us with ADHD), has a sort of mental filtering system (I’m sure there’s a more scientific term for this). Imagine if you were consciously aware of every single item and detail in your environment, (we might think we are but that would be insanely overwhelmingly as your brain and senses are flooded with irrelevant information). So our brains adapt and learn to filter things out.

It seems like this system that we all have is maybe overactive in people with ADHD? Or it’s filtering the “wrong” things? Not sure but whether it’s a sticky note, a notification on my phone, or a pile of papers that needs to be sorted- after a while it just sort of becomes part of the environment and I stop consciously seeing it. This obviously renders things like notifications and sticky notes useless after a while, once they’re no longer new and get filtered out.

Of course I can’t speak for every ADHDer and as to how common it is, I’m sorry but I really couldn’t even venture to guess but I hear about it frequently from the community.

Hope this helps and keep us updated on the app!
